"Seems you've discovered my little secret. Not only can I create your nightmares, but I can create your dreams too." said Nightmare Rarity as she gave the poor little dragon at her hooves a deadly glare, causing Spike to cower a bit in fear.

"But-but Rarity, I lo-lov-" Spike could force the words out of him as the queen of nightmares laughed as her shadow minions grabbed the young drake.

Oh, p-p-poor Spike, can't get the words out? Don't worry, it's too late for Rarity anyway, let alone your friends." said Nightmare Rarity as she smiled, knowing her plans were coming to fruition.

"I will never help you, ever! Throw me in a dungeon for a billion years, I don't care!" Spike yelled, only for Nightmare Rarity to give off a sinister grin.

"Help? What could a silly, deluded dragon possibly help me with? Besides...the nightmare has only begun!" said Nightmare Rarity as she looked Spike directly in the eye.

"And cut! Great job everyone, we'll continue later." said a director as Spike was released from the shadow creature's grip while the crew working on this special began talking. Nightmare Rarity wiped her forehead a bit before she sat down.

"That was great Spike, where did you learn to act so well?" asked the queen of nightmares, reverting to a now much nicer personality since they now had some free time from their roles.

"Ahh, you know, I picked up a thing or two." said Spike as he then saw his friends coming up.

"I think it as more then that Spike. You really did a good job." said Twilight to her #1 assistant, causing Spike to blush a bit.

"I still think I should have been the hero in this thing." said Dash, obviously jealous of Spike getting a bigger role then her.

"Do Ah sense some jealousy Dash?" Applejack asked. Dash just rolled her eyes at this.

"Hehe...oh, wait a minute! I just remembered something!" said Spike as he got up and started to make his way towards the door as Twilight called out to him.

"Spike, where are you going?!" asked Twilight and Spike stopped at the door and looked back at the 6 confused ponies.

"You'll see. Just come with me when I come back." said Spike as he left the room. As the ponies wondered what he was going on about, Spike entered another room filled with a bunch of TV's and other stuff and in it was a young man.

"Hey Tyler, you got that game set up yet?" asked Spike to the man, who's name was revealed to be Tyler, who looked at Spike with a smile.

"Hey there Spike, and yep, it's ready. Got their permission and once you get those ponies to agree to this, we'll start." said Tyler. Spike gave him a thumbs up before leaving to get his friends as Tyler turned to his TV, which had on the screen the infamous game known to many others as 'Minecraft.'


Soon, Spike lead the ponies into the room, where Tyler introduced himself to them as well as the game, inviting them to play it with him for a special reason. And since the six of them had nothing else to do, they agreed. They got into the game and got used to the special controllers made for them before they all made their way to what appeared to be a throne room out in the open with a lava pit near the back of the room.

"Alright then everypony, welcome to something I like to call King Tyler. Now I know what you're all thinking, how do you play this game? Well if you notice near the entrance, their are 6 obsidian blocks, each one for one of you. And you're goal in this game is to erect something called the Tower of Pimps." said Tyler.

"Ooh, ooh, is it that tower on top of the throne!" asked Pinkie.

"Very observant Pinkie. Yes, that is the Tower of Pimps. It is a tower made out of 4 gold blocks with obsidian as the base. Now in order to get a gold block, you must complete a special task I give all of you and the first one to do so will earn a piece of the tower. And the first one to get all 4 gold blocks put on their tower will win."

"Oh my, I hope the tasks aren't too hard." said Fluttershy as she fed a chicken that had entered the throne with some seeds in her inventory.

"They could be easy, but they could be hard. But the rules aren't as simple as you think. You see, I'm a completionists and I like to see everyone complete their objectives. So their will be times where everyone has to complete the task given and the last pony to do so will get a penalty. Notice how you all have a second obsidian block. Well it's for something called the Negatower. What's this Negatower you might ask? Well I have in my possession something called a Nether Quartz block and if you get the penalty, then you're penalty is that you must place a Nether Quartz block on the other piece of obsidian and if you get 4 up...you're out of the game." said Tyler. The ponies grew a little worried since it could mean anyone of them could be knocked out as early as 4 rounds into the game.

"Now that I've explained the rules...oh wait, there's one more thing I forgot to say! And that's...hang on. I need to do something." said Tyler as he switched to a diamond sword and went to the entrance and hit something with it and the ponies swore they heard an 'ow' with a British accent over their Kinect speakers. Tyler then walked back to the throne.

"Sorry about that. Anyway, for this game, you 6 will not be alone. You will all be in teams that I have assigned to you." said Tyler.

"Teams? Are we all going to be teaming with each other?" said Nightmare as she looked at Applejack, knowing how honest she was and knowing she could trust her while Dash gave a wink to Fluttershy and Pinkie smiled towards Twilight.

"Well not with each other. You see, I've gotten 6 other Minecraft players to join us here today. And now all me to introduce-"Tyler never finished his sentence as someone with a Creeper skin suddenly rushed right into the room.

"WHAT'S UP BITCHES!" suddenly screamed the new player, startling the ponies.

"God dammit Gavin!" yelled Tyler as he approached the new player and hit him a couple of times with the sword as the message box suddenly said this:

GavinoFree was killed by AzelfSoldier17

"What the hay was that?" asked a confused Rainbow Dash as laughter was heard from the speakers. Tyler facepalmed before getting back on the throne.

"Ponies, I would like for you to meet Gavin Free as well as Geoff Ramsey, Jack Patillo, Ryan Haywood, Michael Jones, and Ray Narvaez Jr.! I present to you your teammates, the Achivement Hunters!" yelled Tyler as the ponies had no idea what they were in for.
